John Olsen: Annuity Royalty Shares Wisdom (TAM Classic)

In this episode, The Annuity Man and John Olsen discuss: 

• The suitability approach and consumer trust 

• How the annuity industry can be better 

• Approaching people who hate annuities 

• Risk management and risk transfer 

Key Takeaways: 

• There is a considerable certainty that companies out there are determined to give the right product to their clients. 

• If you’re looking for a solution for your client, the agent should be able to show 3-10 companies that could get the client what they want and need. 

• Improving your knowledge of annuities as an agent is simple: read the contract. Don’t rely on the marketing material, read the hard words. 

• Here’s what you can do with risks: you either assume it, remove it, reduce it, or transfer it. Annuity allows you to transfer risks. 

"These are investments to a degree, but most annuities are risk management tools. There are a few things you can do with risks: assume it, remove it, reduce it, or transfer it… Transfer the risk, that’s what annuities do. Fixed annuities are all about guarantees." —  John Olsen
